Village map generator
Roll a village at 5 feet to a square: houses along a winding road and round a square, each one furnished and numbered, fenced yards and fields round it, and the villagers already about. Every wall, door and lamp is a real part you can move, and it's ready for your virtual tabletop.

What it makes
Houses with a purpose
The biggest is an inn with its name on the sign, then a chapel, a smithy with its forge alight, a shop or two and family homes, each furnished to match.
A key to every house
Each numbered building gets an entry written from what's really inside it: its purpose, size, furniture and doors. Copy the whole key as text.
Ten kinds of country
Green fields, winter snow, desert sand, swamp, a coast with a harbour, volcanic ash, autumn woods and more, each with its own roofs, trees and weather.
The whole village too
Draft the same kind of place as an area map, a mile or two of ground with its lanes, gardens and farms, then click a spot to draw it at 5 feet to a square.

Questions
Is it free?
Yes, while we're in early access. You can make, edit and export maps with no account. Sign in when you want to keep them and link them together.
Which games does it work with?
It isn't tied to any rules. Game maps are 5 feet to a square, so they suit any tabletop RPG played on squares. There's no hex grid on game maps yet.
Can I go inside the houses?
They're drawn inside already: walls, doors, windows and furniture under a roof you can lift. Players see the roofs until you lift one.
Can I use it on a virtual tabletop?
Yes. Export a Universal VTT file with walls, doors and lights, or a PNG. There are also bridges that send saved maps to Foundry VTT and Owlbear Rodeo.
How are the maps made?
By rules, not by drawing a picture: the generator lays out the map from a seed, so the same seed gives the same map. Some of the art it draws with is made with image models.
